Setting Test Options
The Test options pull down opens the Test Options window. In the Test Options window you may
determine if the test stops on one of two parameters; time or iterations. By navigating to the “Stop
On” item in the window and hitting the <Enter> key you are given the options of “Iterations” or
“Minutes”. If Iterations is set, the testing stops after executing the full test suite, however many times
is indicated by the number in the “Iterations” edit box. If minutes is selected, the test suite repeats
until the number of minutes in the Minutes edit box have passed, and then stop after executing the
nal test of that suite.
Interpreting Results
Test results appear next to the enabled tests in the test area of the screen. Each time a test passes
or fails during a loop, the appropriate pass or fail count increments. For failed tests, Field Replaceable
Unit (FRU) information also appears under the “Details” column.
If you want greater detail for the test run, view the test log le. For information on how to view the
test log le, refer to Section “Viewing the Test Log” below.
Getting Help On Individual Tests
To display on-line help text les for a particular test, use the arrow keys to highlight the desired test
and then press the <F1> key. The application presents a scrollable text le that describes the sub-
tests for the highlighted test.
Viewing System Information
To view system information, use the arrow keys to highlight the appropriate menu item, and press
the <Enter> key. From the menu select the system information to be viewed.
After pressing the <Enter> key, the application displays a scrollable information box that contains
system information.
Viewing the Test Log
By default, the diagnostic software keeps the log le in “e\service\diagnostics” in a le named
“elddiags.log.”
To view this le, use the arrow keys to highlight the Platform Test menu and select View Results from
that menu, by pressing the <Enter> key. After pressing the <Enter> key, the application displays a
scrollable information box that contains the sessions test log. Because the log le is a Unicode le,
you can also view it in the EFI shell by using the “type -u” command, and in the Microsoft
®
Windows
®
operating system using the Notepad application.
All test results are appended to the previous log le. To clear the log le select the Clear log button
on the View Results window. Note: because the log le is now always appended, it is recommended
that the le be cleared a regular basis to keep the le size from getting too large.
